Thank You...Dorothy R. Burnett (My Mother-in-law)

As I cook dinner, help my son with his homework and takedown my baby girl's hair. I think of the woman who hasalways been there. You would never think I'm not flesh ofher flesh not blood of her blood. Only she can understandthe agony, when my husband is out to sea. The path sheonced walked, I now follow. She tries to keep my spirits upand my heart from feeling hollow. My days are short and mynights are long. I try to relax by listening to myhusband's favorite songs. Only she can relate to wishingyour spouse was here to help bear the weight of having asick child, while the other has an appointment at 8:00.

As I cook dinner, help my son with his homework and takedown my baby girl's hair. I thank the woman who has alwaysbeen there.
